Is Renting Equipment Right for You?

Renting is ideal if you:

  • Need equipment immediately or on a temporary basis: If you need an excavator, generator, pump, scissor lift, or another machine quickly, renting can save the day. You can make a fast replacement or addition to keep the work moving forward without making a long-term commitment. Only need equipment for a few days or a month? You can return it as soon as you're done. We also offer leases and rent-to-purchase plans for long-term equipment needs.
  • Want a cost-effective solution: Compared to buying equipment, renting doesn't involve a large upfront fee. This makes it feasible if you have limited capital or want to stay within budget. Thompson Rents has flexible rental terms and transparent rates, ensuring you only pay for equipment when you need it. You can rent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to accommodate your project requirements. Using rentals also reduces equipment-related expenses like repairs, maintenance, and storage.
  • Prefer to weigh your options: Renting allows you to "try before you buy." You can rent one or several models without any risk or obligation to find the perfect match for your business.
